The Perfect Black Pump
posted by: HerberWellss in General, In Your Closet, Pumps, Stuart Weitzman Shoes on December 13th, 2011
Finding the perfect black pump is like finding the perfect black dress. Great in theory, but difficult in practice. My perfect black pump would have a 1/2 inch platform, smooth leather, a 3 inch heel, an almond toe and, at most, a $200-300 price tag. I don’t want any annoying spikes or studs. I have had my fill of them. Enough is enough. Christian Louboutin has a great basic pump, as does Gucci and Valentino but those are simply out of my price range.
These Platswoons by Stuart Weitzman are gorgeous, I own them in Red Quasar. They are a little high in the heel at 4 inches but a 1/2 inch platform makes it 3.5 and at $300 they are a little high in my price range. In truth, I have these in my shopping cart. I may end up purchasing them later on this month. We’ll see.
The Charles David Piza on sale at $175 are a good choice, but they don’t have the platform needed for stability AND much time in a 4 inch heel is paralyzing.
Some of our readers have posted their shoes and it is wonderful to see what shapes you are attracted to.
So tell, what do your perfect black pumps look like?

Every woman needs black pumps that’s for sure. Comfort and a sleek look are my 2 must haves.

Seeing as how I sell sandals for a living I am in and out of shoe stores all the time! and one thing I can never ever pass by without taking a second look is that little black pump. You are so right about the little black dress theory. I have an amazing black pump but unfortunately they are about to give out! so I am on the hunt, lucky I'm in shoe stores alot!

Perfect heel shoes for women who are working in an office type setting. I love the bold color of it.

I have the Weitzman in nude patent. It's one of those shoes that looks better on than off. It is the perfect pump for those of us who love fashion but hate the extremes.
